My father and fellow winter mountaineering companions were caught in a terrible winter storm one year up on Mt. Washington. This was in the late 60’s before any personal tech. Instinct and experience told him to find the observatory and abandon their igloos as the storm was going to get much worse. It did. The observatory was closed at the time and it was a more primitive structure back then. They broke in and it saved their lives. It was a 4 day white-out with -50 windchills. Incredibly, my dad’s dog, who had gotten separated in the white-out conditions was found alive as they left the station. He had curled up in a snow bank on the leeward side of the station and was completely encased in snow… but alive. They probably would have all perished if not for the observatory. Good to see so many young people working there now and it looks incredibly well appointed now compared to back in the day!
@@jackie-k My guess is that it wasn't any warm fir that saved that pet dog, it was it's own warm love for it's owner and maybe even God's angels guarding over it. Otherwise it would have frozen solid, and quickly. I was caught in a surprise drop in temperature and a sudden blizzard I didn't know was about to come. I was hitchhiking just outside of Cheyanne Wyoming and decided to start walking down the interstate. The sun was out, so why not? Then it grew dark and the temperature suddenly dropped 70 degrees and the horizontal snow started pelting me. I hunkered down and the snow kept covering me. I could only stick out my arm when truck slowly went by. The first few couldn't even see me, but finally one did and stopped for me. I could feel myself trying to freeze solid. Another five or ten minutes and I would have been a statistic, another article in the papers. That dog surviving was a miracle.
@@BeeFunKnee I am so glad someone found you and yes I believe in miracles that are beyond this 3D world. Now I believe in a higher spirit, and the universe. I do believe the dog was meant to make it and there was something bigger working in favor of that group! Bless you and glad you are safe!
The wild part is that in the grand scheme of things, Mt Washington isn’t all that tall. El Capitain in Yosemite is 1,000 feet higher at 7,569, and most of the High Sierra range is over 9,000 feet. Pike’s Peak more than double the height of Mt Washington at 14,115 feet. But the weather patterns of New England help make Mt Washington the icon it is for weather events.
@xtidnab elevation above sea level. Turn on terrain on google maps, then you can see it. They do measure in prominence also but total elevation is the most common.
I was a lighthouse keeper off Cape Ann & Boston lights. It was the 70’s and the lights were called stag lights (no women). One of the never ending jobs was taking weather reading every 4 hours. The only difference was we also had to report the sea state. Of all my jobs in the Coast Guard this is what I enjoyed most. 2 weeks on 1 week off. Alone with on other person and a dog. I can somewhat relate to these people. I called it my escape from civilization. Best of luck and keep that weather coming.
Sounds super to me. I would love a shot at being a lighthouse keeper. The ocean, the solitude. I would have no trouble sleeping listening to the waves.
I went to the highest spot in West Virginia years ago. The top was covered with a cloud. I had a blue jean jacket on. I walked out to and up on to the observation tower. My jacket was flapping like I was riding a motorcycle. The wind speed was nowhere as high as the ones in this video. I could feel the heat leaving me, so I went back to the vehicle. It was really cool!!!!! I think it is around 4,800 feet up. You can see all the way to Virginia from there on a clear day. This is a great video thanks to everyone involved. My hat is off to these observers!!! But not for long, too cold! THANKS.
It’s incredible how mount Washington in one of the lowest mountain ranges in the world, the Appalachians, when your atop it looks like you’re at the peak of the Himalayans. You wouldn’t expect anyplace in the Appalachian mountain chain to look like that just a few hundred miles from NYC.
Climbed it on my Appalachian Trail thru hike. The change in weather going up is incredible. At the top, the fog was so thick the visibility was around 30 feet. People everywhere were calling out to find friends when they got separated. Hope to go back one day.
As reporters, it might be a good idea to let people know exactly where Mount Washington Observatory is. An outsider watching this RUclips video might assume that it is in Maine. I had to look it up and observed that it was actually located in New Hampshire. If I have to look up its actual location - a pretty basic and important piece of information - then why do we need these reporters?
Hey Paco! I looked into this for you. About 8 years ago the observatory was connected to the valleys electrical grid. However, prior to that and now as a backup the observatory was powered by diesel generators. The system has been upgraded now. There is about 2 hours of UPS battery power however if the grid pops off this is only used for about 10-15 seconds. The diesel gensets immediately start and pickup the load. The UPS is only really used so there is ZERO power loss. Shits awesome son. huehuehuehuehuehuehue
The tip top house is actually built up with stone now but used to be just a low built building. All buildings at the top are engineered to withstand 200-250mph winds. The old stage coach building is chained to the mountain with 1/2"chain.
Memorial Day weekend, 1972, a group of us about to graduate high school wanted to do something together before we all went our separate ways. Hiked the trail to the top, great time, great memories. Lakes of the Clouds were spectacular.
I'd wouldn't mind spending some time up there. Doesn't matter when. Other than when the the wind howls, I would love the peace and quiet. To view the aurora would be a bonus.
It is amazing up there. We drove up on a clear day in July. We were dumb enough to think we could hike it, but the people who work in the mountains are really cool and recommended much easier hikes. Beautiful place.
The anamometer broke at that MPH. I've either read that or watched a video that said that. It would probably be more, and we would still have the record.
We have been up my Washington three times. 1980 on the Cog Railway with my parents. 2021 by the auto road, and Cog Railway again last year in August 2023. 😊
Pretty sure her exact words were, "You can't really explain it to friends and family"... Perhaps she is more informed on the climates that those select few people live in, versus your random "lot of people", whomever they might be. P.S. Lemme guess, it's cold where you're at, presently?
That was an interesting video about how they live and work at Mount Washington glad they have a cat 🐈 named nimbus how much snow was that in December 👍❤️ what was that date though of the snow storm
Climbed it some years ago in late May. Some light rain, some fog - no unexpected weather (we had checked carefully before starting out). A fairly easy climb (I think it was 3-4 hours, and half that coming down), but amazing to see the change in vegetation as you get higher.
That is so awesome! It felt like I was actually up there, too. I wish I could be there for several long weeks. I'd leave with friends I knew well and good, I'll wager. I do honestly know what it feels like to brave a hurricane's 100 MPH winds and rain pellets though. It was on Galveston Island in the 70's. Two friends asked me if I wanted to go to the seawall and watch one of them fly like a flag from a street sign pole. I ended up doing it also. Then, as they both had hunkered across the street behind a cement sign at a gas station, listening with a transistor radio pressed tightly to their ears for the reported wind speed, I had walked the best I could, step by step back to the seawall where I could barely tell the ground from the Gulf of Mexico. I had to lean forward with all my might just like that one guy in the video had done. I could tell I wasn't going to fall over though. I told my friends to wave their arms as a signal when the radio had said the winds reached 100 MPH. It was 95 when I had ventured back across the street. The rain hitting me had felt just like bb gun pellets. When I saw them waving at me, I let the wind carry me back to the sign post where I grabbed it and flew like a flag again. But then I was afraid to let go. I just knew the strong wind would carry me off, maybe even high up into the air and I'd be gone gone gone! When I finally did let go, the wind took me half way across Seawall Boulevard where I finally crashed to the ground and I just rolled the rest of the way to where my two friends were still hunkering. Then, we had to walk a few blocks back home as roof shingles and branches tried their best to hurt us. We made it without too much blood involved. I was the most damaged because of that rolling on the asphalt street bit. But I earned these "bragging rights" honestly. It's why I'm so "long winded" with my comment, even! I live in Portland, Maine now. I've been here for 26 years come next May.
Back in the early 1970's, I drove from Toronto to North Conway NH in the dead of winter. All the way, the roads were snow covered and icy with blizzard cross winds for most of the first two thirds of the journey. My drive finally took me up and over Mt.Washington in a blizzard in the middle of the night. The roads were not ploughed and the snow was so deep, about 3 feet, that all the way down the mountain that it billowed up and over the hood of my full sized Oldsmobile as I ploughed my way down for hours in the darkness In hindsight, it was a terribly dangerous and arduous drive over the mountain that I made as a young and foolishly determined man. Today, more than 5 decades later I still remember that journey in detail and know it was by the grace of God that I survived it in the first place.
I don't think so. MT. Washington isn't a thoroughfare. I think you were on rt. 89 which drives through that region. Which is in-itself can be tough driving.
They also didnt mention. That have live streams on their youtube channel and they also have current weather conditions on their web page. Yesterday was 12f with 50mph winds. A couple weeks ago it was near 0 with 80mph winds. Real feel of -30
I don’t know if it is still true but at one time Mt. Washington had the dubious record of being the “deadliest” (most fatalities) of ANY mountain on the planet for exactly this reason…people going up poorly prepared. Glad you and your friends lived to tell the tale!
Apply for a job in Prudhoe Bay. You get the cold, the camp life where the food comes with your room at a camp and you fly to work. Back in the 1980s I worked with a bunch of guys from La. Even the cook came from there and made the best Gumbo ever. Many still lived down there and commuted from there as we worked two weeks on , two weeks off.
If I were a billionaire, I’d buy that, live there by myself, and hire someone to bring supplies. Coolest thing is that if the nukes ever fly, you’d get to see the flashes from D.C. and NYC, and Boston!

Oh okay ....I thought it was in Maine ... I live in Washington and they had me all mixed up ...
Yup. In the white mountains. I look at it everyday
Ew libertarians state
Kandi... And that means what as far as Mount Washington is concerned? Sheesh
The wild part is that in the grand scheme of things, Mt Washington isn’t all that tall. El Capitain in Yosemite is 1,000 feet higher at 7,569, and most of the High Sierra range is over 9,000 feet. Pike’s Peak more than double the height of Mt Washington at 14,115 feet. But the weather patterns of New England help make Mt Washington the icon it is for weather events.
Multiple storm paths cross the summit and with the shape and direction of the peaks it acts as a funnel.
3 seperate weather patterns converge here.
Plus Mt Washington has an fully manned observatory
is the size of a mountain calculated by its elevation or by its vertical rise?
@xtidnab elevation above sea level. Turn on terrain on google maps, then you can see it. They do measure in prominence also but total elevation is the most common.

Thanks for that info I thought it was in Washington State just by the name but yea I agree a reporter leaving out critical information
It’s a Maine TV station with a receiving area in which everyone knows Mt Washington.
It was a local tv story
Sorry for the oversight. Its a local station catering to local New Englanders who know where Mt. Washington is. We didn't think about it.
Been to the top about 15 times on my motorcycle and it always feels like the first time..
Very cool piece, thanks!
How come no one has ever seen the power plant that keeps the observatory warm during the winter?
